The items in that list are mostly Q_FLAGS, rather than enums. Which are enum 
values and'd or or'd together. I don't know how to do that for a C# api, and 
so for the moment they are converted to ints. But I think you're right about 
Qt::ToolBarAreas, that is an enum, and so I think the code generation is 
wrong for that one.

I did make a start on changing ArrayLists to List<>s so I'll check in what 
I've done so far. Mainly what needs doing is changing the arraytypeslist hash 
to have strings for the names of the List<> types instead of just '1' to mean 
true. Then changing the code that uses it so it uses the values 
like 'List<foo>' instead of ArrayList.

The methods called 'NewQApplication' aren't called directly by the Qyoto 
application code, only by the public constructors. So as long as the 
constructors just have an argv parameter the code is correct.
